A winter house, I decided must be pro- 
vided for Cuffy! Accordingly at the 
approach of cold weather a carpenter 
was secured who converted a box into a 
very snug apartment. A partition di- 
vided the box into two rooms, dining- 
room and bedroom, the two connected 
by an open doorway. The dining-room 
had an outside entrance. The box was 
fitted into a south window of my study 
and the window raised a sufficient height 
to admit the tenant. The top of the 
box had a hinged cover in order that the 
squirrel might be admitted to my room 
or not just as I might choose. 
Cuffy soon deserted his home under 
the roof gables for the new apartment. 
1 always permitted it to play about my 
rooms in the evening. When I wished to 
shut it out, I would tap on the box with 
a nut and say, “Bed time, Cuffy.’ 
Probably it didn’t understand the words 
but it certainly did the nut ! 
Sometimes, like a wilful child, it did 
not choose to obey promptly, then it was 
necessary to administer punishment ; a 
light tap or two with a small switch 
would send it scampering to its house 
but a low muttering would come from 
the box as Cuffy prepared for bed; this 
it did by burrowing into the midst of 
bits of rags, paper, cotton, leaves, etc., 
with which it had filled the bedroom. _ 
I taught Cuffy to come at a given sig- 
nal, a long and a short whistle. I also 
taught it to look for nuts in the roomy 
pockets of my winter coat — this proved 
so much to its liking that not infrequently 
it chose to take a nap in the warm depth 
of the pocket. It was a favorite stunt, 
too, of Cuffy’s, on a frosty morning 
should I appear out of doors, to hurtle 
down through the bare branches of the 
tree, landing on my shoulder then crawl 
down into my pocket where it remained 
eating nuts or napping while I contin- 
ued my walk, often down town and back.

HOW TO MOUNT A BIRD 
( Continued from page 501) 
where it was severed from the body. 
Then pass the other two pieces of wire 
up the back of the legs, under the skin, 
and wind them fast to the leg bones, to- 
gether with a little excelsior, to replace 
the flesh cut away. The leg wires 
should now be securely fastened to the 
false body. Take a needle and thread 
and sew up your specimen, beginning at 
the breast and working toward the tail. 
Now you may place the specimen upon 
its perch, which you have prepared, and, 
if you have them, insert the glass eyes. 
These eyes may be obtained from any 
dealer in taxidermists’ supplies, but I 
have found the M. Abbott Frazar Co., of 
Boston, Mass., to be especially reliable. 
Then you must fasten down the wings 
by means of small wires sharpened on 
one end. The feathers must be placed 
exactly as they were in life and left that 
way until dry. 
| F you have carefully followed these 
' instructions and perhaps added a little 
of your own ingenuity from time to 
time, you will, with a little practice, be- 
come able to successfully mount any 
birds that may be killed.
